1/n) Fantastic rearguard action by India to save the Test Match! Will be considered as one of India's best 4th innings fightbacks to save a Test Match! #IndiavsAustralia
2/n) The fact that India avoided defeat was commendable considering 1) #2, #3 & #4 fast bowlers injured 2) #1 fast bowling all rounder not fit to play Test Matches 3) #2 spinner broke his thumb 3) Batsmen @ #6 tore his hamstring 4) #1 Batsman on paternity leave #IndiavsAustralia
3/n) In the past many a Indian team would have folded up cheaply losing the test but this team showed its mental fortitude in such trying circumstances. #IndiavsAustralia
4/n) By keeping the Aussies in the field for 131 overs they ground them into the dust by denying them victory. With just a 3 day turnaround to the next Test maybe it might take a toll on the Aussie bowlers in Brisbane." #IndiavsAustralia
5/n) 131 overs was also the longest India has batted in the 4th innings since 1980 & longest by Asian teams in 4th innings in draws in Australia.
Herculean effort by Hanuma Vihari to play 161 balls (most of them on a torn hamstring) and Ashwin (128 balls).
6/n) Pant's counter-attack means that Australia will think twice before declaring early (if the cases arises in Brisbane).
7/n) Maybe we can play Saha as keeper and Pant as batsman (to replace Vihari) + Kuldeep to replace Jadeja as Aussies didn't pick up Kuldeep very well the last time both the teams played.
8/n) Best part of last session was when Paine was sledging Ashwin to disturb his concentration asking Ashwin how many teams passed on him for IPL (in auction) and then Paine proceeded to drop a catch in the very next over!!!

With US having vaccinated 9M+ and India starting it's vaccination plan soon (Jan 16th) some have started scaremongering about vaccines via alarmist WhatsApp forwards, FB/Twitter posts and other social media platforms
Most of the cases of severe reaction to vaccine have been mostly Anaphylaxis which is a severe, (in some cases potentially life-threatening allergic reaction) It can occur after exposure to allergen which can be peanut, shellfish, bee sting etc. or even contents of a vaccine.
CDC guidelines clearly state that patients should be monitored for anaphylaxis at vaccination sites and also prescribes protocols on what steps to take
1 Thread on President-Elect Biden and his statements in the U.S. Senate in May 1998 post Pokhran 2 nuclear tests
2 (Then) Senator Biden attended a Committee on Foreign Relations hearing in the U.S. Senate on May 13 1998 (2 days after the initial nuclear tests in Pokhran on May 11 1998)
3 Some interesting excerpts from his prepared statement on the Indian nuclear tests. Earlier part of his statement is mostly critical of India (like other speakers during the course of this hearing)
1) Rezang La during 1962 India China war saw one of the most legendary “last stand” battles that the world has ever seen. Led by Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, 120 soldiers of the 13th Kumaon fought till the “last man last bullet”.
3) Out of the 120 men of 13 Kumaon, that day 114 soldiers were killed , 5 were captured (who later escaped in Chinese captivity) & one was sent back to tell the tale of the unmatched valor at Rezang La.
